Forum Theatre launches its status as company-in-residence at Round House Theatre Silver Spring with Angels in America.

Set in Reagan-Era New York City, Angels in America is Tony Kushner's two-part epic on national themes, the AIDS crisis, and spiritual and political morality. Forum Theatre presents the play that affected an entire generation for the current 2009 American landscape. A colorful array of characters become intertwined as they grapple with identity, community, guilt, intimacy, and forgiveness. At once harrowing and uproarious, Angels in America is a fiercely theatrical modern morality play and a landmark of the American stage.
